To all whom it may con/:67%:

Be it known that I, HANS H. SATER,-a citizen of the United States,residing at Janesville, in the county of Rock and State of Tis-y consin,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sulky-Plows; 'and Ido hereby declare vthe following to bea full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention has for its object to provide means for keeping the frontand rear furrowwheels of a sulky-plow in their proper positionrelatively to each other when the plow is moving in a straight line andfor returning one of said wheels to a position inline with the otherafter it has met with an obstacle or turned a corner, and also toprovide means for turning the plow about in the shortest possible space.

A further object of my invention is to provide means for enabling theplow-beam to be elevated or locked in working position when desired.

These objects I accomplish by the means illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings, inv

which- Figu're l is a side perspective View of a sulky-plow embodying myinvention. Fig. 2 is plan View of front and rear furrow-wheels, offsetarms attached to the standards of said furrow-wheels, and a rodconnecting the' with an offset arm K and VK', respectively, extending inopposite direct-ions and provided with longitudinal slots and 7c. The

The standards L and M are each provided offsetarms K and K are connectedtogetherl bymeans of the rod O, having its ends bent and inserted inthe. slots 7c and 7a' and preferably connected with eyebolts T, havinglsprings U mounted thereon. One end of said eyebolts projects through alip X, attached to said offset arms and is adapted to slide in said lip.-lVhen the plow is moved forward, therefore, the front and rearfurrow-wheels 6o are held in their proper position by means of suchoffset arms and connecting-rod. Zhen in such position, theconnecting-rod O bears firmly against the offset arms K' and K', makinga substantially rigid connection between sucharms and thereby adapted totransmit the same movement to the forward and rear furrow-wheels. IVhen,however, the pole N is turned laterally to the left, as when turning acorner, the offset arm K is turned back- 7o ward and at the same timethe forward end f of the connecting-rod O moves inward on said f' armand is pressed against the resistance of f' the spring U. When the rearfurrow-wheel- B of the plow has turned the same corner, the,J 7 5 offsetarm K resumes its former position relaitively to the arm K' and thevspring U forcaes the end of the rod O outward into its pro lerposition, as indicated in Figs. l and.2 of he drawings. By means of thisconstruction the 8o i,

movement' of the front and rear furr owwheels C and B is controlled bythe lateral` movement of the pole N. The ends of said connecting-rod Oand the Oifset arms K and K may be modified, it' desired, without vde-85 parting from my invention,provided the ends of the connecting-rod Oare movable lengthwise of said arms K and K by spring-pressure. v

P represents an inclined yoke secured to 9o the main frame of the plowand provided with a laterally extending lip. An adjustable block S,provided with a slot s, is secured to the yoke P by means of a bolt Vpassing through said lip and block.

A rearwardly-extending arm R is secured to the beam E of the plow andprovided with a 'roller or other projection Q, adapted' to move in saidyoke. When the plow-beam is raised by means of the lever G and thearched zoo axle II, the roller Q, on the rearward-extending arm R, movesupward in said inclined yoke P. Vhcn, however, it is desired to hold theplow fixed in a working position, the block S is moved inward andsecured firmly over the rearwardly-extending arm or roller Q, therebypreventing any upward movement of the plow-beam.

lVhat I claim isl. In asulky-plow, the combination with a main frame, offront and rear furrow-wheels mounted on standards provided with offsetarms extendingin opposite directions, a conmeeting-rod having its endsfreely secured to, and movable lengthwise of, said arms, and springsadapted to hold the ends of said connecting-rod in the desired positionon said oiset arms, substantially as shown and described.

2. In a snlky-plow, the combination with a main frame, of front and rearfurrow-wheels mounted on standards provided with offset slotted armsextending in opposite directions,

and a connecting-'rod having oiset ends extending through said slots andengaging eyebolts having springs mounted thereon, substantially as shownand described.

3. In a sulky-plow, the combination with a main frame, of a plow-beammounted upon an arched axle havin a lever connected therewith, aninclined yoke secured to said frame, a rearwardly-extending arm securedto said beam and provided with a roller or other projection, and anadjustable block adapted to be secured wit-hin said yoke so as to bearagainst said roller or proj eotion and prevent the plow from rising,substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
